Would you, or do you allow your DC do things which might impact on their education?

Just want to pick people's brains really.

DD (yr 9) has been asked to audition for a west end show. If she got the part it would mean quite a bit if time away from school and that worries me.

Does anyone else have DC who have done somehting like this or perhaps take part in sport or somehting else that has meant absences from school?

What do people think?

Wow, sounds amazing!

I was offered similar - met the producer of a show and was asked to audition for the next group. I was over the moon. Parents had vetoed it by the time we got home. :(

Not even saying I would've got the part but it would've been amazing to try. Opportunities like that don't happen often. Education and exams are important, but they aren't everything.

Best of luck to your DD! :)
